It began with my youngest son willing to see his granparents. His visit with them made him feel better since he hadn't had the nicest visit with his own father. The feeling of being 'wanted' that day healed some of his wounds as he visited with his grandfather for the first time in over 5 years.
I've always offered for my children to see their grandparents, however as to their own discretion, they chose not to, so I did not force them. I was pleased to find out that he had visited with them. He relayed some information to me and pleaded that it would be nice for everyone to just get along. I accepted to see my father.
Sunday, I saw my father for the first time in over 5 years. It went very well and I felt that this time things may be different. It was a bit funny, since he hadn't seen me in so long, that he didn't really recognize me when he first saw me. What can you say when you see someone for the first time in a long time and they are half the size they were when you last saw them. :)
The visit was pleasant, and I saw my mother as well. My dad asked me if he could meet my husband, so we then came over to my house. The atmosphere was pleasant and we enjoyed each other's company.
Sunday night I chatted with my sister Anna to find out if she'd like to reconnect with me. We had first decided to meet on Wednesday, however I decided to take Monday afternoon off so that I could see her sooner. She seemed delighted that we would see each other before Wednesday. We had alot of fun. It was a very nice visit and it's nice to get to know her again. So many changes in both our lives, and we are both very happy with our lives and our relationships.
Here's to forgiveness and love of a family..let the new memories begin!
Cheers,
Dee
